Weird Nightmare (Meditations On Mingus)
by Various
The acclaimed producer orchestrates a staggering, deeply unconventional tribute to the compositions of Charles Mingus. Employing an absurdly eclectic roster including Keith Richards, Chuck D, Leonard Cohen, and Diamanda Galás playing custom Harry Partch instruments, the album is a shadowy, surrealistic reimagining of Mingus's legendary jazz catalog.
